Since Palin proved to be tough, is she still off limits?

Question

She went on the attack last night, and showed that she is definitely able to dish it... can she take it? And is it fair that people complain about her treatment after watching her go after Obama? Also, does the argument of "stop comparing a VP candidate to a Presidential candidate" go out the window now that she, herself, did just that last night?

Answer 1

Of course she is.  Republicans prove time and time again that they are exempt from the rules they set for others.  She can attack, attack, attack and compare how much more experience she has than Obama, but if anyone comes back at her with some facts, they're attacking her for being a "Washington outsider".  

That's just how the neo-cons and Republicans are.  They have been, and always will be.

Answer 2

Of course she will cry foul when attacked. And she will use her womanly wiles to make Biden look like a bully if he goes after her too hard in the debates.She knows how to work a room and her target audience does not give a sh**t about the issues because they don't read enough to know what the issues might be. If it does not fit into a 30 second soundbite on CNN then they don't get to hear about it.

She may be a neanderthal on policy and have some very dubious financial dealings in her CV but she plays to her audience perfectly.

She is a worry.

Answer 3

Before I answer this question  I have to say that it looks like the Republicans are back to dirty politics as usual. I was appalled at both how Palin and Giullianni made fun of Obama's Community work. I am speechless at this. That is just really low! Our country is based on people helping each other. I can't even imagine anyone ever making fun of anyone who volunteers their time and life to help the community! This confirmed my belief that Republicans do not care about the middle and lower classes at all! That speech showed how little respect they have for the assembly workers, teachers, firemen etc.also I guess unless you live in the governor's mansion or own 7 homes you just are considered a person who volunteers their time and you know nothing about leadership. I don't know exactly what obama did but I bet he had a major responsibility to the poor in the large city of Chicago.

  At this time Democrats need to attack back. The heck with the "hands off " policy. She lied about stuff and that includes her family. Time to give it back. They went after Obama's wife now it's time to dig the dirt on her family.

Looking at the audience last night I got the creeps. You had the Boss Hog (suits) types and the small town folks. Granted --this is rural America but they stereotyped themselves! These were the same type of folks who tarred and feathered and stuck their noses up at the city folks back in the 1800's. Isn't the President there for all the people no matter where they live, work or play?! This is not change by any definition.
